Katherine's Environmental Bike Ride Print E-mail

Hi, my name is Katherine and I am from Sandringham College.

Today, 2B were the first group to go on the full day environmental bike ride. We left straight after 9:00am headcount and were driven to an area where timber has recently been harvested. We were then taken to a site just across the road where the trees had been cleared seven years ago and new, young trees were growing up. We discussed how we felt about the way timber is harvested and used De Bono’s hats to help reflect our thoughts and opinions.

After this, we started our challenging 28km bike ride. We rode through tracks, on roads and up and down hills and even though there were some steep climbs that looked never ending, we all successfully completed the course, coming out of it with new skills, talents and qualities.

Over the last 9 hours, every member of 2B has improved their biking skills, their positivity and their encouragement. We know that the time is flying so we are making the best of every amazing opportunity we are given!

School For Student Leadership

School for Student Leadership is a Victorian Department of Education and Training (DET) initiative offering a unique residential education experience for year nine students. The curriculum focuses on personal development and team learning projects sourced from students' home regions. There are four campuses in iconic locations across Victoria. The Alpine School Campus is located at Dinner Plain in the Victorian Alps. Snowy River Campus is near the mouth of the Snowy River at Marlo in east Gippsland. The third site is adjacent to Mount Noorat near Camperdown in Victoria’s Western District, and is called Gnurad-Gundidj. After consultation with the local aboriginal community, this name represents both the indigenous name of the local area and an interpretation of the statement "belonging to this place". Our fourth and newest campus, currently known as the Don Valley Campus is located at Don Valley, Yarra Ranges.

Our school community acknowledges the Gunaikurnai and Monero-Ngarigo people as the traditional custodians of the land upon which our school campus is built. We pay our respects to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, their Elders past and present, and especially whose children attend our school.
